LIL DAGOVER-GERMAN SILENT FILM STAR

Lil Dagover German Actress with chow - Version 3

Lil Dagover was a German stage, film and television actress whose career spanned nearly six decades.  I feel extremely fortunate to own all 4 of these images in my own collection. It is rare to find a single photo of an actress with their chow, much less finding multipe images of multiple dogs.

Lil Dagover(1887–1980)


A prominent German film actress born on 30 September 1887 at Madiven, Java, the daughter of a forest ranger in the service of the Dutch authorities. Sent at the age of ten to Baden-Baden to study, she later entered the cinema thanks to her marriage in 1917 to the actor Fritz Dagover who was 25 years her senior. They divorced in 1919
Born:Marie Antonia Siegelinde Martha Seubert
September 30, 1887 in Madiun, Java, Dutch West Indies (now Indonesia)
Died:January 23, 1980 (age 92) in Geiselgasteig, Munich, Bavaria, Germany

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.
